US 69 Thru North Texas - Oklahoma - Kansas
Starting planning next summer's trip. I need to get from North Texas to Kansas City area, and want to stay off Interstates and toll roads as much as possible. What is US 69 like from about Sherman, TX...

Folks, I appreciate all the responses. I'll look at some of the alternatives you offered.
Last year we traveled from northwest Oklahoma to OK City, then down I35 to Fort Worth on the way home from our western journey. That was the first time I had been in Oklahoma for several years, and the secondary roads were some of the roughest I've seen. I was surprised, because Oklahoma used to have good secondary roads when I lived in that state. Of course, that was more than 30 years ago! I guess they've worn out since I left. The people are still very friendly though.
This year's trip will take us to the KC area, visiting Overland Park, KS and Independence, MO. Then we continue east to St. Louis, and on to New York. I plan to park in New Jersey for a few days; I ain't driving the MH to New York City. Anyway, when we leave New York/New Jersey, we're going south to North Carolina, then back west thru Tennessee and Arkansas on the way home.
